"Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist," inspired by the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast, recounts the notorious tale of an armed robbery that occurred on the night of Muhammad Ali’s legendary 1970 comeback fight. This event not only altered one man's life but also helped transform Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.”
The story centers on a hustler named Chicken Man (Kevin Hart), who hosts an extravagant afterparty to celebrate the fight, attended by some of the country’s wealthiest individuals. The night takes a dramatic turn, ending in the most audacious heist in Atlanta’s criminal history. Suspected of orchestrating the crime, Chicken Man is determined to clear his name. To do so, he must convince his old rival, J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s newly desegregated police force, who is charged with bringing the perpetrators to justice.
